The SCIENCE BEHIND the ART
Tailored Design-Build Integration
Where collaboration meets precision
Elevate your AVLA integration expertise with an approach built around flexibility, precision, and partnership.
At CSD, we’re redefining what design-build means. While we continue to deliver fully turnkey solutions from concept through commissioning, our Tailored Design-Build Integration model expands the possibilities.
We provide the design leadership, technical coordination, and engineering expertise — then collaborate with trusted specialists who know your environment best. These may include technical directors, facility staff, datacom professionals, or regional integrators embedded in the local construction landscape. Working together, we deliver seamless execution while maintaining full design integrity and system performance standards.
This approach isn’t about scaling offices — it’s about scaling opportunity. By engaging established partners who already understand their communities, we achieve faster response times, smarter use of labor, and enhanced client experiences.
CSD’s tailored model enables true collaboration without compromise: your resources, our expertise, one unified solution.
Partner with CSD and become part of a network that’s shaping the future of AVLA integration — where innovation, efficiency, and craftsmanship align to deliver exceptional results every time.
System Types
Within a single building a diverse array of audiovisual systems can coexist to meet varying needs and complexities.
For example, a casino project typically consists of all of the various System Types:
-
The Main Auditorium boasts a Performance System that houses mission-critical systems essential for concerts and events, boasting professional-grade audio setups, broadcast studios, and sophisticated lighting rigs, all maintained by dedicated staff.
-
Intermediate-level Enterprise Systems in the Sports Book and Casino floor provide a seamless transition with their advanced features, facilitating multimedia video distribution, foreground audio, and lighting controls.
-
Meanwhile, user-friendly Commercial Systems in areas like restaurants and meeting spaces prioritize ease of use, catering to diverse activities with simple audio setups, interactive displays, and basic lighting.
This integration of performance, enterprise, and commercial systems within the same building ensures seamless operation across different areas and activities while meeting the unique needs of each space.
Performance Systems Described
-
Mission critical systems: These are essential for the core operations or primary functions of an organization or venue.
-
Dedicated staff: Typically, there are specialized personnel responsible for the setup, maintenance, and operation of these systems.
-
High complexity: These systems may involve advanced technology and require skilled operators to ensure optimal performance.
-
Examples: Professional audio setups for concert venues, broadcast studios for live events, sophisticated lighting rigs for theaters.
Enterprise Systems Described
-
Intermediate level: Positioned between performance and commercial systems.
-
Most features of performance systems: Enterprise systems often have similar components and capabilities as performance systems but are not considered mission critical.
-
User base: Used by volunteers or dedicated staff who may be in the process of training to become performance system operators.
-
Moderate complexity: While still complex, enterprise systems may be slightly less intricate or critical compared to performance systems.
-
Examples: Audiovisual setups for conference centers, broadcast facilities for corporate events, lighting systems for medium-sized theaters or auditoriums.
Comercial Systems Described
-
Designed for ease of use: These systems prioritize intuitive operation, allowing users with minimal training to operate them effectively.
-
Engineering design: Typically, these systems require engineering expertise for their design and implementation.
-
Lower complexity: While still sophisticated, commercial systems are generally less complex compared to performance and enterprise systems.
-
Accessibility: Intended for a wide range of users, including those without specialized technical knowledge.
-
Examples: Audiovisual setups for retail stores, lighting and sound systems for restaurants, conference room AV solutions in office buildings.
